Herman Liv’s emotional words about late father Stefan Liv

The loss is still great after the late Stefan Liv.
Now disgust is being raised against the Linköping supporters who mocked the HV71 fans.
Herman Liv opens up with emotional words after the disgusting taunts about his father.

It was 2011 as the Swedish hockey goalie Stefan Liv died in a tragic plane crash. The whole of hockey Sweden gathered in a common sadness for a much-loved teammate and opponent – and to this day, Liv is greatly missed.

The Stefan Liv mockery

That is why it hurts so much in the Swedish hockey soul when it comes out that a number of Linköping HC supporters have acted in a disgusting way. During Saturday’s match against HV71, some LHC spectators allegedly took pictures of the late Stefan Liv as “a mockery of the HV heel”, according to an entry in the local newspaper Corren.

The horrible behavior is confirmed by Linköping’s club director Carl-Johan Stålhammarwhich reacts strongly.
– It is clearly reprehensible behaviour. Incredibly low level and not acceptable, he says in a statement.

Herman’s answer

Now the son opens Herman Liv up about the attention-grabbing incident that happened in the stands in the Saab arena.
– I don’t think mockery in any form belongs in an ice rink. Fasen should focus on cheering on his team instead of mocking the opponents. And then they also have to understand that it’s not just a dead hockey player they’re mocking, but a human being who is still mourned and missed every day by his family. I don’t think they would have thought it was so funny if you showed around and mocked cards at their deceased relatives, writes the 18-year-old in a text message to Aftonbladet.

The LHC has also acted and suspended the people concerned.
– Yes, our security officer Max (Lundgren) has identified the person concerned on our cameras and there is no doubt about it – it is inciting behavior and these people are now suspended for 18 to 24 months, according to the hockey association’s guidelines, says club director Stålhammar to the evening newspaper.
– It’s not something that belongs at a hockey match, I think 99 percent of the population agrees with that. One is saddened that anyone even thinks the thought.

Carl-Johan Stålhammar also announces that it is a matter of a few people.
